What do you pack?

Good morning everyone!! Well, it’s Saturday which should be really exciting, except for the fast that my last day off was this past Sunday and my next day off is October 22nd. What did I sign up for again?? Oh yeah, when asked to work on two shows this fall for a theatre I love and a theatre I’ve been dying to work with, I said HELL YEAH! Not regretting it, but realizing that sanity will shortly become a thing of the past 🙂 Yes, I am kind of a workaholic.

So my question to all you wise people out there, is what the heck do you eat when you’re gone for 6-8 hours straight with no access to a fridge?! I’ve been living off this

I mean, those trail mix bars are delicious, as is the lemon zest Luna bar, and I love me some frosted mini wheats (these ones have fruit inside–YUM!) and fiber cereal, but it does not cut it at dinner. Last time my schedule was like this was during the dark carb-less days so I was essentially living off sugar free low carb protein bars and beef jerky. It was pretty disgusting. I need help because I am not someone who does hungry well–I get GRUMPY! And when you work with kids, that is especially bad. What foods travel well with no fridge?

On the plus side, before I left for my day yesterday, I had time to prep this delicious salad

And even more amazing, I had a legit 45 min break to come home and eat it! Filled with chicken, red fat feta, cherry tomatoes, red, yellow and orange bell peppers, carrots, romaine and a homemade honey mustard. It was the best thing I’ve eaten in a few days…until this morning! Stay tuned for BACON PANCAKES!!!

I love: Trader Joe’s Unsweetened Dried mangos Annie’s Cheddar Party Mix Applesauce in squeezable pouches (sbux has organic version, but TJ’s, Safeway, and walmart all have them for cheaper) Salmon Jerky is delicious if you can find some good stuff…the only kind I’ve found I like so far is from actual seafood stores that make it themselves. But I’ve only tried the pre-packaged stuff from the Co-op in Moscow. They had a couple diff brands, neither I liked. 🙁 Also, Food Should Taste Good chips!!! Especially Sweet Potato!!

I love going to the theatre! What shows are you working on? I take an insulated lunch box to work and use ice packs to keep veggies and my food cold. There’s a micro at work, but sometimes I just eat it cold (like pastas). I’m SO looking forward to bacon pancakes!!! 🙂
